Did anyone find out the final values needed to be changed for this properly?

Would also like more info on this, have an ms-8 and am trying to figure out the best install method.

Sounds like speaker lever after the amp will be 100%. Does anyone make a plug with pigtails so I dont have to cut?

I have been running this setup for about 6 months and it still works great. I get full-range line level from the tweeter outputs (not crossed over) and send only that signal to a DSR1. There is no pre-set EQ and the tuning was very straightforward. I completely removed the B&O amp since it is no longer necessary.

The Sync voice and phone calls, etc, just come through at the same volume as the music. It's not a big deal, I can easily just set the volume where I want it. I don't get the numeric volume display on the screen, but I can live without that. There are really no drawbacks.

Someone should just try matching my Forscan settings and see what happens

How can you get full range from the tweeters? They are either crossed over at the HU or by a Cap up from the door speaker.

They come from the headunit.

So they are crossed over at the HU? Then the signal wouldn't be full range. Correct?

The digital signal is full range via the b&o usb. The analog method via forscan would not be full range.

Incorrect. Using this method, the analog signal direct (via the tweeter wires) from the head unit becomes full range. If you heard my subwoofer you'd agree
